The two sides have been fighting for a long time, but they still can't tell the winner, and under Chen Yuan's intentional control, everyone looks as if Chen Yuan is at a disadvantage.

Yan Shan had some doubts and uneasiness in his heart at the moment, although it seemed that he had the upper hand, but the actual situation was still very clear to him, if it was really like this situation on the surface, he should be able to defeat Chen Yuan easily. But no matter how he attacked, Chen Yuan could always just block his attack, and when he stepped up his attack, Chen Yuan's strength seemed to have been improved simultaneously.

A bold idea suddenly popped into Yan Shan's mind, Chen Yuan may not have been poisoned at all, and his strength is far above him, so he can easily control the strength and make him look at a disadvantage, and he can't defeat him.

Thinking of this, Yan Shan's battle intent had weakened a lot, so he planned to test Chen Yuan.

To test the level of a person's cultivation, the simplest and most effective way is to compete for soul pressure.

Yan Shan retracted the fire domain and released all the soul pressure, wanting to make a final fight with Chen Yuan.

However, the people in the audience were very puzzled when they saw this scene, this Yanshan obviously had the advantage, why didn't they continue to attack, but instead released the soul pressure.

Although you can use soul pressure to defeat the opponent as soon as possible, it is also very risky, once the soul in the body is consumed, it means that your combat power will be greatly reduced, and it is very likely to be counterpressed by the opponent. Yanshan's approach is extremely unwise in the eyes of others.

"Hehe, Yan Shan, this idiot, actually released the soul pressure and fought Chen Yuan to the death," Xiao Han looked at Yan Shan with disdain, and mocked, "If it were me, I would definitely grind Chen Yuan to death, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Yan Shan is still too young after all, and lacks some stamina and stability." ”

Qiu Chi was also watching all this around, to be honest, he really admired Chen Yuan's acting skills now, if he didn't know Chen Yuan's condition, I'm afraid he would really sweat for Chen Yuan. And now that Yan Shan has used the soul suppression, Qiu Chi wants to see how Chen Yuan can hide his strength.

Yan Shan's soul pressure rushed to his face, Chen Yuan frowned slightly, it seemed that Yan Shan had discovered the clue and wanted to use the soul pressure to test his cultivation.

Chen Yuan sneered, still not planning to expose his cultivation, he also released his soul pressure to fight against Yanshan, but it was slightly weaker than him.

Yan Shan saw that Chen Yuan's soul pressure was not as good as his own, and he probably only had the appearance of being on the upper side of the middle realm, which made Yan Shan happy for a while, and immediately increased his offensive.

"This Chen Yuan doesn't really plan to fight with him, right, the old thing is confused, if you go on like this, Yanshan will win!" Xiao Han said worriedly.

Qiu Chi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xiao Han's attitude, he didn't expect their enemies to worry about him.

Chen Yuan wants to win, so naturally he will not continue to fight with Yan Shan, after the two stalemate for a while, when Yan Shan's soul is almost consumed, Chen Yuan shouted angrily, and a pair of dark golden light wings instantly appeared in front of Chen Yuan.

The people in the audience were also shocked when they saw this scene, and the white-haired old man was surprised: "He actually used this trick, it seems that he is really desperate." ”

The light wings emitted a dazzling light, and the light shone on Chen Yuan's body, giving Chen Yuan a great amplification, and the soul pressure that was originally biased towards himself was biased towards Yanshan in an instant.

Yan Shan felt this huge power, and secretly screamed in his heart, he didn't expect Chen Yuan to keep a hand.

Chen Yuan only needed to create the illusion of regression in cultivation to others, and there was no need to hide the means, so he used it in the first round of challenges.

The light wings are similar to the fire domain of Yanshan, which can provide a strength bonus to Tatsubuchi, and can also launch attacks.

The light wings gradually turned into Dao Dao light thorns, and under the increase of the Chen Yuan Wind attribute, they slammed towards the Yan Mountain like lightning.

Yan Shan hurriedly withdrew his soul pressure, and used the few remaining souls to arrange several enchantments, trying his best to resist this attack.

At this moment, Yan Shan still has a fluke mentality, although his consumption is very large, but Chen Yuan's consumption is not less than his own, this blow should still be able to resist.

How could Chen Yuan do what he wanted, he could completely win Yanshan now, and no one would be suspicious, after all, Yanshan consumed a huge amount, and it was normal not to resist.

The light thorn stabbed frantically at the barrier, making a popping sound, but it was not the light thorn that exploded, but the barrier.

After a while, all the enchantments of Yanshan were pierced, and the light thorns went straight to Yanshan himself.

Yan Shan knew that he was not Chen Yuan's opponent, so he shouted without the slightest hesitation: "City Lord, admit defeat in the next place!"

Chen Yuan heard Yan Shan's voice and immediately withdrew the light thorn.

Yan Shan exhaled, if he slowed down, I am afraid that if he does not die at this moment, he will be crippled.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, and comforted: "Yanshan, your strength is good, you have such strength at such an age, your talent must be better than the old man, the old man admires you very much." ”

Yan Shan hugged his fists and said: "The city lord has won the prize, but the villain is still too self-conscious, and he dares to challenge the city lord." Ashamed, ashamed. ”

Chen Yuan suddenly asked, "Yanshan, do you have a family?"

Yan Shan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I have always been alone and have no family. ”

Chen Yuan took the opportunity to invite: "Then are you willing to sell the old man's thin noodles and come to my City Lord's Mansion to do things, and I can directly promote you to a first-class elder." ”

There are three levels of elders in the City Lord's Mansion, with the first level having the highest status, the second level being the second, and the third level being the lowest. People like Xiao Hong belong to the second-level elders, and there are only three first-level elders.

Yan Shan was suddenly overjoyed, and challenged Chen Yuan by himself, but he didn't expect Chen Yuan not only not to worry about himself, but to invite himself into the City Lord's Mansion, and also promised a heavy responsibility.

Yan Shan saluted and said: "The city lord personally invited, it is really an honor for the villain, how can there be no reason not to agree." ”

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded, this Yanshan is talented, and his strength is also quite good, he can come to the City Lord's Mansion, and the strength of the City Lord's Mansion has also risen a lot.

After Yanshan stepped down, Chen Yuan shouted to the crowd in the audience: "The first round of challenges is over here, and the second round of challenges will be held in three days, and I hope you will agree on the order of challenges in advance." ”

After saying that, Chen Yuan also stepped out of the ring, glanced at Xiao Chen with a special eye, and turned to leave.

Castle Lord's Mansion.

In order to celebrate the victory of the first round of the challenge, Tatsubuchi specially made a good cup of tea and invited Qiu Chi to come over for a while.

The location was still in the attic where they first met, and as soon as Qiu Chi went to the attic, Chen Yuan's figure came into view, and he congratulated him: "Brother Chen played well today, and he can hide his strength so skillfully, I'm afraid the real strength is far above Yanshan." ”

Chen Yuan laughed and said, "I really can't hide anything from you." Although it is a little tricky today, it is worth it to get a talent like Yan Shan. ”

Qiu Chi sat in front of Chen Yuan and asked with a smile, "Why does Brother Chen value Yanshan so much?"

Chen Yuan explained: "You may not know, this Yanshan was still a small rank ten years ago, and in just ten years, he was directly promoted from the rank of rank to the rank of general, this kind of talent, not everyone has it. And I fought with him today, and I guessed that his cultivation should not be lower than the middle realm of the general level, and he had vaguely touched the appearance of the high realm. The strength of the heads of the several major families in Jiangyi City is only a general-level high realm, and with Yanshan, it is easier to deal with them. ”

Chen Yuan paused, took a sip of tea, and continued: "There is another reason, I found that his innate fire spirituality is very pure, and I am an innate wind spirituality, the spirituality of the two of us complements each other, and there must be a great advantage in cooperation." ”

Qiu Chi heard Chen Yuan talk about innate spirituality, and couldn't wait to ask: "By the way, Brother Chen, I want to ask you something, is everyone innate spiritual?"

Chen Yuan shook his head and replied, "No, innate spirituality is based on the realm, and if there is no realm, there will be no innate spirituality either." And even if there is a realm, the probability of the emergence of innate spirituality is not very large. ”

Qiu Chi asked again, "That...... Could it be that a person has two or even more innate spirits?"

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, anyway, I haven't seen it, if there is, then he must be a peerless genius." Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"

Qiu Chi smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just curious, just ask." ”

Chen Yuan didn't doubt him, poured himself a cup of tea, and continued to taste it.

Qiu Chi suddenly said, "Having said that, I have one more thing to remind Brother Chen. ”

Chen Yuan wondered, "What's the matter?"

"About this Yanshan, I inquired with people, and it is said that the reason why he did not join the major families was because he had many enemies, and he was arrogant and uninhibited, so he offended many people, and there was no shortage of characters in the major families. Brother Chen openly recruited him into the mansion, but he secretly added a lot of enemies. ”

Chen Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "None of these major families are good friends with my City Lord's Mansion, judging from the current situation, sooner or later we will have to fight with them." Besides, this Jiangyi City is still my biggest after all, so why be afraid of them. ”

Qiu Chi smiled and stopped persuading.

The two continued to drink tea, and Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked Qiu Chi, "Which one do you think is most likely to be in this second round of challenges?" ”

Qiu Chi thought for a while and said, "The strength of several major families is about the same, and it is possible for any of them, but which one does Brother Chen hope for?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, and said: "Naturally, it is the Xiao family, my strength should not be hidden in the second round, if it is not for the Xiao family to fight against me, according to Xiao Chen's suspicious character, naturally he will not challenge me again, and I am afraid that the matter of getting rid of the Xiao family will be delayed." ”

Qiu Chi guessed: "So Brother Chen wants the Xiao family to fight against you in the second round, and you want to take the opportunity to get rid of the Xiao family?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, at present, although the other families also have ambitions, they are all still doing their duty, and there is no need to get rid of them immediately, but it is the Xiao family, which has been eyeing them all the time, get rid of them as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Qiu Chi asked, "Then how can we ensure that the Owl family can successfully qualify for the second round?"

Chen Yuan introduced to Qiu Chi: "There are rules for the order of competition between the major families, according to the custom, in order not to affect the performance of the family master, it is usually necessary to send two elders and a genius to compete, and then decide the order of the challenge according to the final result. ”
